Hhhmmm, this is rather odd. Not odd in a bad way, but odd in a “I’ve never thought of putting them together” way, kinda like pickles and chocolate ice-cream. LG has selected Kim Sa Rang and Yoo Ah In for their latest cell phone ad campaign (the Optimus Black – which I keep reading as the Optimus Prime), and I just … Continue reading →
I just want to squish these two into one cuddly fluffy ball of love. You would think a few months away from my insane love for Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young in Mary Stayed Out All Night (reckon I didn’t say I loved said drama) I’d be all less crazy about them, but er, no, they are still … Continue reading →
This is way too cute not to share. The Korean restaurant brand San Soo is promoting its line of mother’s-helper food stuffs, and who better to help sell to the omma than a trio of Korean actors with different types of appeal. San Soo rounded up Song Seung Heon (my oppa!), Yoon Sang Hyun (forever and always Tae Bong), and Song Joong … Continue reading →
Jang Geun Seok earned another first last month – he became the first K-actor to appear on the cover of the Japanese magazine AnAn (JYJ‘s Jaejoong was on the cover of AnAn last year as the first K-idol to grace the pages). I think it’s a sign that Jang Geun Seok has made it as a noona-killer in Japan, joining the illustrious ranks … Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my Ultimate Bromance series, documenting the real life best friends forever friendships in the entertainment industry. To find previous posts, click on the bromance tag below. Today’s update is in honor of an interview Jung Il Woo gave from the set of his latest drama 49 Days. When asked which three friends would cry … Continue reading →
Spring is here, and with it comes wedding season. If you’re married it feels anticlimactic, if you’re single it feels like an interminable slog. But weddings are always great for checking out the bride’s wedding gown, and giving it the thumbs up or down. Many Korean actresses have played brides in dramas, movies, or magazine shoots. I thought it’d be … Continue reading →
Two of my favorite young actors got tapped to be the ambassadors for this year’s JIFF (Jeonju International Film Festival). Cutie pies Kim So Eun and Jung Il Woo posed for a series of adorable pictures, which doesn’t evoke so much the “film” or the “festival” (despite the random use of film-related props), but does make me go “oooooh, so prettay, … Continue reading →
Tea? Someone thought of the brilliant plan to pair up Vic Zhou and Ariel Lin just to sell tea? Oh my lord, my head hurts because I want so much more than that. However inane and fleeting, the pairing up of my two favorite TW-actors back in 2008 is like a Koala’s dream come true. If I won the lottery, … Continue reading →
Jung Joon Ho got married yesterday to Lee Ha Jung (congrats and felicitations on a life long happy marriage!), but the only thing going through my mind was the sudden and totally unexpected attendance at the wedding of a certain dude currently in military service. No, it’s not Hyun Bin, but the man who was shipped off DURING the filming of … Continue reading →
I haven’t seen these three together in one place in a long time. Ariel Lin, Ethan Ruan, and Joe Cheng all attended the grand opening of “80’s Studio”, a hip and trendy hairdressing joint that recalls the hokey fake celebrity hair salon in The Magicians of Love. Seeing them together makes me long for Mike He to be there and complete … Continue reading →
Awwww, my Heon oppa sure knows how to give fan service. Song Seong Heon, Song Joong Ki, and Yoon Sang Hyun (three guys I absolutely adore to watch onscreen) were shooting a CF together when an entertainment news program interviewed them. They were asked the usual “which girl is your ideal type” question, and Song Seung Heon winnowed down his … Continue reading →
When you are caught strolling the streets of Paris, sometimes the most logical explanation is the only explanation. Jung Woo Sung has pretty much confirmed that he’s dating Lee Ji Ah, though his words were more like they have a positive feeling for each other. He wanted to make an announcement at his fan meeting later this month, but the … Continue reading →
I love this song, I love this collaboration, and I love this MV. But I’m kinda enviously hating on the fact that Namie Amuro is in her thirties, has a thirteen year old son, and still looks that smoking when she’s performing. One of the legacy queens of J-pop Namie Amuro, who has had a resurgence in recent years, released … Continue reading →
